“Ma'am I'm really sorry for the inconvenience we can't accommodate all of you po kasi” the front lady says. “What? We called ahead to reserve rooms” Mave says already irritated with the situation. “Paano naman mawawalan ng rooms… binagyo ba kayo?” Cal says sarcasticly. “Sorry po talaga, there was a miscommunication on our end po.” the lady says bowing her head because of shame. “Where do you expect us to stay??” Soph says also fuming with anger. Aya noticing how stressed both parties are, decides to handle everything. “I saw online that you guys offer private villas, may available pa ba?” Aya says stepping in and taking control of the situation. “Ah yes po ma'am, but it's pricier than our rooms po” the lady says. “We'll take it” Mave says monotone and takes the key. “Ah pero 5 lang po kwarto dun” the lady says. “I guess it's better than nothing” Jules says feeling defeated.

“So who gets the solo room” Cal and Jules says looking at each other eye to eye, waiting for someone to say something. Cal runs to the room door before she could reach the knob Jules stops her and pulls her, now both of them are tackling each other. “Tigil” Soph says making them stop. “Ako mag so-solo mag tabi kayong dalawa” Soph says making her way to the door. She twists the door knob but… “Bakit naka lock” Soph says with furrowed eyebrows once again frustrated. “Hala ma'am sorry po ginawa daw po pala storage room yan” the tour guide says. “So apat pa din ang kwarto” Mave says looking up the ceiling feeling really frustrated and defeated.

After playing a game of ma-iba taya, the roommates were decided. Cal and Jules. G and Shai. Mags and Soph. And Mave and Aya. “Are you ok with this?” Mave asks, “I can switch with G if you want me to” Mave adds about to move. “Mavey ok na yannn” Shai says protesting “Panira ka ng moment eh” she adds. Aya laughs at how cute Shai is and how happy G seems to be. “Bayaan mo na sila, I feel like they'll bond naman since halos magka-edad lang sila.” Aya says as she walks towards one of the rooms on the 2nd floor.

“I'll take the couch” Mave says after entering the room and only seeing a queen size bed. 2 rooms have bunk's while the other 2 had queen size beds, (un)fortunately they entered the room with just a bed. “No it's ok you take the bed boss kita eh” Aya says placing her stuff on the coffee table. “It'll be uncomfortable” Mave says as she moves Aya's bag to the bed. “Oh uncomfortable pala eh, hayaan mo na ako” Aya says about to take her bag. Mave picks up Aya and sits her to the bed. “Stay still, relax, I'm not your boss right now” Mave says as she takes her stuff and settles on the couch.

“Busog” Jules says after they had a feast for dinner. “Since rest time naman natin baka naman may pa shots dyan oh” Cal says. Mave laughs a little “Fine fine a couple of shots then” she says. “Sakto let's play games” Shai says. “Ano na naman yan” Soph says “Last time we played games you lost your Rolex samin tapos ang ending binilan ka pa ulit namin kasi you wouldn't stop crying” Jules says not wanting to play. “Hala Rolex ang puntahan, out ako dyan” Mags says making everyone laugh. “Ano ba kasi magandang laro” Shai asks. “Yung walang puntahan sana” Mags adds. “What do you usually play?” Mave says looking at Aya. “Hmmm truth or dare? Or two truths one lie?” Aya says. “Truth or Dare na lang” Soph says. “Oo sinungaling ka eh” Jules says. “Shhh I dare you na umuwi na sa Manila” Soph says to Jules making everyone laugh

“Let the games beginnnnn” Shai says as she turns the bottle. It points to Cal, “Truth” she says. “May someone na ba making your heart dugdugdugdug” Soph says mimicking the beating of a heart. “Ahhhh meron” Cal answers casually. “Sino??” Mave asks curiously. “Isa isang tanong lang” Cal says teasingly. The bottle turns and points to Mags this time, “Dare” she confidently says. “Hug mo crush mo Mags” Aya dares her. “Hala nakakahiya wait” Mags says blushing, she then stands and… “Ako?” Mave says after being hugged by Mags. “Nung hindi pa kita kilala poging pogi na ako sayo” Mags says laughing a little. “May na aamoy ako” Jules says sniffing near Cal. Cal smacks her head and says “Next na”. The game continues, and throughout the game Aya and Mave didn't get picked until… “Finally!” Shai screams out “Mavey ikaw na last na toh” Shai adds. “Dare. I choose dare.” she says trying to avoid eye contact with someone. “Who or what was the last reason you smiled today?” G asks for the group. “Uhmmm it's embarrassing kasi eh” Mave says not wanting to answer. “Wait let me think about it muna” Mave says trying to delay. “Ano ba yan insan” Cal says tired already. “Andito siguro hindi maka sagot eh” Jules says giving her a meaningful look. “Reveal! Reveal! Reveal!” her friends chant. Mave covers Aya's ears then says “Her”.
